| Col. f. G. Collier is Mexican wal

Rev. w. d. Matthews went down
to Morrilton last Tuesday to take
part In a church trial wherein Rev
Mr.. Redwine of the Little Rock con.

Interest in Mt. Nebo begins early
this season. Already lumber is drift
ing in that direction and spectators
talk interestedly. Two gentlemen
of Oshkosh Wis, took in the heights
Tuesday last.
Will Pruitt has the state agency
for some very popular subscription
books and will establish agencies in
Yell county, being over now for that

thrive. Mrs. Thach of Russellvile

Those travelling specialists took
a tape worm from lady near town
last week which measured so feet.
1t came clear and completely within
an hour and half from the time the
dose of medicine was given. 1t was
Mrs. Gleese, who had suffered great
ly and upon whose case great deal
of money had been spent.
"Smith Hames dead" True it is,
that another old land mark is gone,
in the person Of our esteemed fellow
citizen S. S. Hames. A man OF many
virtues not the least of which was
his hberality to the poor.
We are under the painful necessl-
ty of recording the death of another
worthy citizen. Mr.. j. c. Johnston,
famillarly known as Uncle Joe, died
last Saturday night at his home near
", al nno Il he ba1 l,rn1
etly for more than thirty years. He
was an honest man-true and faith
full in all the relations of life, loved
by those who were near to him and
respected by all who knew him. A
man of fine intelligence, untiring en-
ergy and noble purposes be will be
sadly missed from among us. Mr..
Johnston died in his I'D year of
pneumonia.
Mr.. Jacob McCarty of Gilkie was
in yesterday and informs us that the
body of the murdered man found up
there recently, was taken up but did
not prove to be the brother-in-law OF
VIM. GLADDEN. as was suspected. Mr.
McCarty adds that gentleman pres
ent at the disinterment recognized a
wa:st coat worn by the deceased as
one he had snapped to a mover some
weeks before, said mover being one
of two men of.a family who were GO
ing east in the direction of Rover
and were driving an OK team, one
little OK and one large one. This is
a clue.
DR.. Searcy leaves us. And we re-
gret it exceedingly on more grounds
than one. The town loses one of its
most loved as well as most useful
citizens. AS pastor Of the Baptist
church at this place DR.. Searcy has
made friends who will never forget
him, not even when the lights are
turned down for the last lorg sleep.
In their wisdom the board Of direct
ors for the Ouachita College, the
Baptist State institution Of learning,
unanimously chose DIR. Searcy as
general Superintendent, and upon
that work he has already entered,
having left Dardanelle last Monday.
How soon he will be able to return
or how often, are matters yet to be
determined. DIR. Searcy's family will
remain at Dardanelle, on which ac.
count we can safely indulge the hope
of at least an occasional visit.
Those readers OF the Post and the
Arkansas Gazette who have been
entertained with recital of the ex-
ploits Of Hill, the desperado, who
was killed about lS40 in Norristown,
may be interested in learning that
Hutton, the gentleman who kindly
removed Eill from this vale OF six
shooters, is still living, and resides
near Whitesborough, Grayson coun-
ty, Texas. He is Baptist preach
